16 weeks tomorrow and experiencing the craziest feeling.
I feel like i am completely full after a huge meal but i have been feeling this all morning, i tried snacking and drinking water but the feeling remains, perhaps its ligament pain or bubs is growing? I've been pretty regular so i don't think it's constipation. Has anyone felt something similar? Looking forward to some possible answers!

I get that feeling randomly! Last night I felt so full when I went to bed even though I hadn't eaten for hours. I just figured something was getting g stretched or moved. I tend to get it more at night, i am 15 weeks

Thanks Espence, good to know i'm not experiencing something odd!

hey mommies.. Thank you all for the encouraging words.. After a string of bad news, i finally started hearing some gud stuff. I have met the dietitian and diabetic dr and started on some oral medicine to keep sugar in control and after a week, it seems to be working. So eating the most healthiest diet is the key right now. Well, it can get frustrating and depressing that i can't indulge in desserts or carbs like even rice anymore and im sure the journey is much more worthwhile and it's only for another 2 mths so im sure its gonna pass by fast. Maybe this will also help me to control my sugar in the long run and save myself from any diabetes as i grow older..

Went for baby's growth scan yesterday. It was a huge relief to know he is growing healthily. Weighing 1.4kg at 29 weeks and it is within the range. It was too cute to see him covering his left side of the face with his hand. So far all scans, he is either facing down or covering his face.. Even our dr was laughing that he seems to be a shy boy. His head is already down however not engaged yet. Dr was mentioning that its still early but he might stay this way too since he is growing bigger and lesser space to move around.

Enjoying all the wriggles and kicks.. Love the way he will start moving and kicking when he hears the sister's voice. My eldest is 6 and she loves singing to my tummy before bedtime and watching and feeling him move around is just so heartwarming. Hope the love grows more between them...

Hope everyone else is doing great too.. :)

Sha-RK I'm so glad you've received some positive news and things are looking more positive for you! No doubt this will also help bubs development! That's great!

Thank you samanthalouise89_.. Hope everyone else is doing well too.. :)

I am going well. I experienced some vertigo like dizziness a couple of days ago but that is really the worst of it. We are pre-ordering our pram tonight so I am very very excited and its all seeming more and more real!

Also, for my fellow Aussie mummas on here, is there any particular nappy brands to stay away from? A friend of my sisters will absolutely not use Huggies brand but i haven't heard anything negative about them apart from her?

Hi ladies, so I just wanted to share that today is my birthday, and we have our gender scan this afternoon. First of all lets hope that our little baby let us see his/her parts for us to be able to finally find out and secondly my husband really wants a girl and the truth is I dont really care what we are having, but since he really wants a girl it would be a nice birthday surprise to find out we are having a baby girl. I will let you guys know what we are having tomorrow. I hope everyone is doing fine.

@Samantha On a different note, I dont currently live in Aus, but I did some time ago. While I was there I had a friend that had two kids and I remember well she used Huggies. The reason I remember is because she used them with both her 6 months old baby, and her 2 years old toddler. Her toodler was learning to use the bathroom and he wore Huggies Pullups. (We didnt have Pullups where Im from back then, so I was quite curious about them...) When I asked her about them, she told me she had used Huggies for both her kids since they were newborns. Maybe talk to your sister´s friend and ask her why she is against them.

Speacking of diapers, has anyone used biodegradable diapers. My husband and I are maybe planning on using them, but it would be nice to hear some experiences. There are not many in stores where we live, so we plan on getting them on amazon, so any brand experience would be awesome to hear.

Thanks VS! I will have to message her and ask, that is strange considering I've also read the reviews online. I have heard great things about Rascal & Friends as well and i know these are relatively cheap too!!
Also, has anyone experienced Braxton Hicks as early as 17 weeks? I've been told that these are what i'd be feeling after orgasm/intercourse.
